The bell bar

The Bell is a family-owned cocktail bar in the heart of Ayia Napa, run by the same UK family since 1998. Known locally for spinning UK Urban, Garage and R&B hits nightly, it draws a loyal crowd of repeat visitors who come back again and again for the atmosphere and the drinks. Reviewers single out the pornstar martini as a standout, calling it among the best they have tasted anywhere, and praise the fair, moderate prices that come with it.

Staff are repeatedly described as warm and attentive, going as far as handing out blankets to keep guests comfortable through the night. Guests also mention enjoying a great view from the bar while they sip their cocktails. Open from 9pm into the early hours every night of the week, The Bell is built for late-night socialising, positioning itself as an alternative to the town's more tourist-trap-style venues.
